Crock Pot Honey BBQ Shredded Chicken

I love using the crock pot for meals. Especially when I have lots of frozen chicken on hand. This can be made as sandwiches for all the bread eaters in your house, but I just eat it on top of veggies, or by itself.

2lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 bottle SF bbq sauce, plus 1 cup for later

2 Tablespoons water

2 Tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (divided)

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 Tablespoon garlic powder

1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro

Add chicken, whole bottle BBQ sauce, water, honey, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic and cilantro. Mix and cook on low for about 6 hours. At 6 hours, the sauce will be liquid. Remove chicken and dump liquid. Add chicken back to the pot, turn setting on to "keep warm" and add 1 cup of BBQ sauce and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Shred chicken. Eat! This is a new favorite of ours!
